Tokyo in 1 Day: Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya, Sailor Moon Azabu-Juban & Captain Tsubasa

  • 1 day
  • Shibuya Station → Yotsugi Station (any central Tokyo hotel)

Three very different Tokyo neighborhoods, all linked by subway. Start in Shibuya, where the Shibuya Incident arc of Jujutsu Kaisen takes place. Move to Azabu-Juban, the everyday neighborhood of Usagi and her friends, where Minato City installed Sailor Moon manhole covers. Finish in Yotsugi in east Tokyo, the home area of the creator of Captain Tsubasa, where Katsushika City placed statues of the team around the streets. One subway pass covers most of the day.

Day by day

Times, fares and opening hours are approximate. Check the official pages under Sources before you go (last checked 2026-09-18).

Day 1

Shibuya → Azabu-Juban → Tokyo Tower → Yotsugi

Jujutsu Kaisen in the morning, Sailor Moon at lunch, Captain Tsubasa in the afternoon.

  1. Morning

    Shibuya Scramble Crossing

    Come early, before the crowds peak. The anime's official site publishes a map of Shibuya Incident locations around Shibuya Station; fans also point to the buildings around the station, such as Shibuya Mark City and Shibuya Hikarie. Photograph from the sidewalk or from a station walkway, never from the road.

  2. Late morning

    Shibuya → Azabu-Juban

    Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line to Aoyama-itchome, then change to the Toei Oedo Line for Azabu-Juban (approx. 20 min in total). Both lines are covered by the Tokyo Subway Ticket.

  3. Midday

    Azabu-Juban Shopping Street

    Minato City installed seven Sailor Moon manhole covers in the ward. One is at the entrance of the Azabu-Juban shopping street. Have lunch here: the street is known for old sweet shops and taiyaki.

  4. Early afternoon

    Walk to Shiba Park and Tokyo Tower

    Tokyo Tower appears again and again in the series. Two more of the city's manhole covers are nearby, in front of Minato City Library and in front of the Shiba water supply station. The walk from Azabu-Juban to Tokyo Tower takes approx. 15-20 min. The official Minato City page has a map of all seven covers.

  5. Afternoon

    Daimon → Yotsugi

    Walk to Daimon (approx. 15 min from Tokyo Tower) or ride the Toei Oedo Line one stop from Akabanebashi. From Daimon take the Toei Asakusa Line toward Oshiage. Many trains run straight on to the Keisei Oshiage Line; local trains stop at Yotsugi (approx. 30 min). Faster trains may skip Yotsugi, so change at Oshiage if needed. The Keisei section after Oshiage is not covered by the Tokyo Subway Ticket, so pay the difference at the fare adjustment machine.

  6. Late afternoon

    Captain Tsubasa statues

    Katsushika City placed statues of Tsubasa and his teammates around Yotsugi and Tateishi. The life-size Tsubasa in Yotsugi Tsubasa Park was the first. Pick up the free statue map at Yotsugi or Tateishi Station (there is an English version), then walk the route toward Tateishi, which is one stop away.

  7. Evening

    Dinner in Tateishi, back to the center

    Tateishi's covered shopping street is known for cheap, old-style bars and snacks. From Keisei Tateishi, trains run through to the Toei Asakusa Line for Asakusa and central Tokyo.

Tokyo Subway Ticket (24 hours)

approx. ¥1,000 (adult, 24 hours); 48 and 72-hour versions also exist

Visiting with respect

  • Shibuya Crossing is a working road. Cross with the lights, don't stop in the middle for photos, and don't set up tripods on the sidewalk.
  • Manhole covers are in the street. Stand on the sidewalk to take photos and watch for bicycles and cars.
  • Azabu-Juban and Yotsugi are neighborhoods where people live. Keep your voice down and don't photograph residents or their homes.
  • One Captain Tsubasa statue stands next to the main gate of a high school. Take your photo and move on; don't enter the school grounds.
  • Don't climb on the statues.

FAQ

Can I still see the life-size Gundam in Odaiba?

No. The official site says the life-size Unicorn Gundam statue ended its display on August 31, 2026. This route goes to Yotsugi instead.

Is the Tokyo Subway Ticket worth it for one day?

With four or more subway rides it usually pays off. Add up your rides first; the Keisei section to Yotsugi is extra either way.

Where exactly are the Sailor Moon manhole covers?

Minato City lists seven locations, including the Azabu-Juban shopping street entrance, in front of Minato City Library, near the Shiba water supply station by Tokyo Tower, and near Takanawa Gateway Station. The city's page has the full list.

Is Hikawa Shrine in Azabu the model for Rei's shrine?

Fans say so, but Minato City's official page does not mention it. If you visit, remember it is an active shrine.

How long does the Captain Tsubasa statue walk take?

Seeing all the statues on foot takes a few hours. For a short visit, see the life-size Tsubasa in Yotsugi and a few statues on the way to Tateishi.
